Worrisome facts about Searchbee.net search

Searchbee.net is a suspicious search engine that doesn’t look trustworthy at all. According to security experts, it might be related to browser hijackers[1] and cause unwanted browser redirects. If your browser loads hxxp://Searchbee.net/ automatically, it is very likely that your computer contains one or a couple of potentially undesired programs.

Bogus search engines like Searchbee.net are designed to look like traditional search tools; however, they always provide some ads alongside regular search results. Considering that this search site doesn’t provide Terms of Use nor Privacy Policy documents, we assume that it doesn’t want users to know how it collects and uses visitor data. Such activity[2] shouldn't be tolerated.

Usually, browser hijackers silently track victim’s search queries and browsing history which helps ad networks select targeted advertisements for the victim. These ads later emerge in search results’ pages, pop-up ads or banners. If you do not like excessive advertising, you should remove Searchbee.net ASAP.

Ads in search results[3] can confuse the victim and make him visit shady external websites instead of providing relevant information to him. This obviously wastes user’s time and puts his computer’s security at risk. If you experience suspicious redirects to external websites when trying to look for relevant information online, you shouldn’t ignore them and perform Searchbee.net removal without a wait.

It simply attempts to drive web traffic to predetermined websites that pay for each new visitor.
